Hillary Clinton is out here claiming young people, including young Jewish people, are only pro Palestine because of TikTok—not because of the painfully documented fact by dozens of human rights orgs confirming genocide, famine, mass rape, and war crimes by IDF.

No acknowledgment that people are relying on social media because the Israeli government has illegally blocked out all international media and killed more than 250 journalists inside Gaza.

Her claim is “Just believe Netanyahu.” Absurd.

@QasimRashid Lots of young people *are* only pro-Palestine because of TikTok. And that shows how important social media is in bringing awareness to issues where traditional media and governments want to control the narrative.

Now we just have to figure out how to ensure that those powers don't put their thumbs on the scale of the algorithm. When Ellison takes over TikTok that narrative will change and we need to raise the alarm and provide off-ramps before it's too late.
